CCT
I am a newly minted CCT and prior Army Infantry and Armor. Also did some recon work. Working with 5th SFG in the future and came on board to gain some more insight into SF culture.
Looks like a good sight.
See you in the fight...

Gentlemen,
11A, O3, 24-day non-select at SFAS. Just trying to learn more information. I have posted a question under the "nonselect" board if someone could provide some insight.
Thanks for your time and help, seems like a wealth of knowledge is on this board.

Hello to all at ProfessionalSoldiers.com
I am a control systems engineer who works EMS on the side. I found this site while researching trauma care. I have taken a wide variety of firearms & self-defense courses and have focused this year's formal training on medical and non-firearm combatives. The latest med course I took was ATLS and the latest combatives course I had was with Dennis Martin of the UK.
I am an NRA pistol instructor and get to provide initial (and sometimes the only) basic firearms training to other civvies. I do my best to give them a good start.
Every experience is a training opportunity. I read a lot here and post very little. Thank you for the wealth of expertise & professionalism available at this site.

wri6414 intro
hello i forgot to post an intro .yall can already see my screen name but i go by the name of jay. My real name is jonathan nicholas wright ,I hate my middle name, but we are professional soldiers right?).I'm from Baltimore, Maryland. born may 10th 1983 in the u.s. #1 murder capital .i started martial arts at age 9 in jr.high started fighting to protect myself soon after, people asked me to protect them .I did that and it felt good to do it,but it felt even better to teach people to defend themselves and in turn help themselves. I got in to physical activities to keep in shape and also played sports year around for school, until i got into the U.S. Army in June 2000 .I was raised by my father, while growing up he taught me finish what i start, don't quit on the goals I set, speak what you are able to back up and he also taught me that you can gauge a man by how much respect he will give others When i turned 17 yrs old my dad signed ,so that i could enter the military I been wanting to do that since i was 12. I served with the 1st brigade b-co 3rd batt 504th parachute infantry regiment at fort bragg ,nc ,which is now 508th PIR .In 2003 I deployed to afghanistan from January to August and in 2004 to Iraq from January to June.In afghanistan(2003) task force devil was main effort for conventional combat operations and 3rd batt was the main effort of the task force.we where moving all over from base to base, mission after mission, including a combat jump with the rangers which which was declassified a year later. Towards the last half of of the deployment we was sent to fire bases in shkin, gardez and orgune where we got more exposure to SF operators.In Iraq(2004)I went with my unit to Iraq we did dismounts , pulled perimeter security,main gate gaurd and training duty to the ICDC Iraqi platoons.bravo company and delta company was main QRF @ base anaconda /balad.In Iraq i also volunteered to extend my actice term hoping to be in the deployment window for stop lost to go to Afghanistan(it was pushed back). Over the course of my enlistment I had three children. My term in the military has exposed me to lots of life's multiple options including the want and desire to go SPECIAL FORCES,and I respect all that it stands for .Due to my ex-wife's problem with infedelity I was given the advise to separate and go national guard to take care of my divorce because they told me that anything can happen to where she could cause me to get droped from selection, due to emergencies. I'm currently with the 20th sfg training up to go through the training pipeline as an 18 echo and also trying to get back on active duty to do it full time .

Greetings
Howdy All,
Well, let me start out by saying I don't have a long tab. I graduated SFAS class 1-93 when I was at Fort Carson to escape legland. To make a long story short, my S2 screwed up my Clearance Packet, and I ended up in Limbo waiting on orders to the Q course. Recruiter told me I'd have a better chance of getting stuff squared away pushing my packet through USASOC than FORSCOM, so I ended up at Ft Lewis w/ 3/12 SFG(A) (Back when we were on South Fort, before we moved to Buckley and 19th Group.)
Anyhow, spent a year drilling, yadayada and it seemed like it wasn't gonna happen, so I contracted with ROTC. I transfered from B Co to C Co in Los Alamitos the month before we transfered to 19th Group as D Co (Provisional) 5/19thSFG (A). So I was a SGT one drill and a Cadet the next. I spent the next 2 years w/ Dco while I finished college (Who has ever heard of a Cadet on an ODA?)
After commisioning, I spent the next 3 1/2 years at Bragg w/ 3/325th AIR.
Oh yeah, when I was active the first time, I was an 11H2P, and I was commisioned Infantry. Did some PL time, S1 time (yuck) and I was the BN AS-3 when I got out.
Anyhow, that's the short version.
AATW

Welcome aboard Herr Fallshirmjäger. Fair warning, drop the "long tab" or you'll be running up a beer tab
